Electric Vehicles are a key part of our tomorrow and how we get there. If we can get all the fossil fuel vehicles off our roads, out of our seas and out of our skies, we'll have a much better environment. This community is where we discuss the various different vehicles and news stories regarding electric transportation.

I know, that's what I said. Everyone in America is constantly moving heavy loads. That's why all new EVs are pickups (Cybercrap, Rivian, Slate and now this). If a car maker releases something that's not a pickup truck they immediately lose most of the market because pretty much everyone needs a pickup. Because they move heavy stuff. All the time.
Not all the time, and it's mostly just big stuff. I need a vehicle to primarily commute in that can haul tools and furniture around a few times a month or take kayaks and shit to the river. An EV pickup the size of the old S-10 I had would be perfect. Instead we get all the giant trucks with full beds or little ones with no bed but seating for a family of 4 and their dog. There's no middle ground. There's plenty of EVs already that are not pickups. How many variations do you need?
